Last week I found this coffee that I hadn't seen on store shelves for a while. I always found all kinds of brands, both national and international, but I hadn't seen this one again, not in the supermarkets I usually go to. And since I was curious about it ever since it was recommended to me, I bought the half-kilo (500-gram) package that was available, hoping it would be totally worth it. My friend insisted I should buy this coffee because the flavor was incredible, so I decided to take his advice.

My friend is from the Venezuelan Andes, and he told me this coffee is very popular there. Reading the label, I realized it's indeed a 100% Venezuelan product, made in the state of Trujillo, which I really appreciate. It also says the beans are lightly roasted. I'm not a barista, so I don't know much about coffee technicalities, just about flavor, haha. So I immediately made myself a cup in a percolator to see what it tasted like.

My friend was right, I absolutely loved the aroma and the intense flavor. I wanted to drink it straight, without adding milk or spices like cinnamon or vanilla, to truly appreciate the authentic taste, and it didn't disappoint at all. It's an intense coffee flavor with some fruity notes. I don't know how to describe it, but it reminded me a lot of a Colombian coffee brand called Gallo Rojo, which also has a similar flavor. And Colombian coffee is known for being among the best in the world, but the coffee from my country (Venezuela) is certainly holding its own.

It also has a good caffeine boost because it really kept me active throughout the day, and this is something that hasn't happened to me with other coffee brands. I don't know if it's because I'm so used to coffee that caffeine doesn't affect me and I can even drink it at night without it affecting my sleep, but this cup of "La Protectora" coffee really gave me energy.

I definitely recommend it too; now I understand why my friend likes it so much. Next time I buy coffee, I'll definitely get this brand again.

La semana pasada encontr茅 este caf茅 que yo ten铆a tiempo sin ver en los anaqueles de los comercios, siempre encontraba de todos las marcas entre nacionales e internacionales, pero esta no la hab铆a vuelto a ver, al no en los supermercados a los que voy siempre, y como la verdad es que sent铆 curiosidad desde que me lo recomendaron, entonces compr茅 la presentaci贸n que hab铆a, la de medio kilo (500 gramos) esperando que valiera completamente la pena, pues mi amigo me insisti贸 mucho en que deb铆a comprar este caf茅 porque el sabor era incre铆ble, as铆 que decid铆 hacerle caso.

Mi amigo es de los Andes venezolanos, y me dijo que este es un caf茅 que se consume mucho all谩, y leyendo la etiqueta del empaque me doy cuenta que efectivamente es un producto 100 % nacional, venezolano, hecho en el estado Trujillo, y esto es algo que de verdad me agrada. Por otra parte dice que los granos tienes un tueste fino. Yo no soy barista, as铆 que no s茅 mucho de tecnicismos en el caf茅, solo s茅 del sabor, jeje, as铆 que enseguida me dediqu茅 a prepararme una tasa en cafetera greca para comprobar que tal estaba el sabor.

Mi amigo ten铆a raz贸n, me gust贸 much铆simo el aroma y el sabor intenso que tiene. Quise tomarlo solo, sin a帽adirle ni leche ni especies como canela o vainilla para percibir el sabor aut茅ntico, y la verdad es que no me decepcion贸 para nada, es un sabor intenso a caf茅 pero con algunos toques afrutados, no s茅 como describirlo, pero me record贸 mucho a una marca de caf茅 colombiano que se llama Gallo Rojo, el cu谩l tambi茅n tiene un sabor s铆milar, y eso que el caf茅 colombiano es conocido por ser de los mejores del planeta, sin embargo el caf茅 de mi pa铆s (Venezuela) no se est谩 quedando atr谩s para nada.

Adem谩s tiene una buena carga de cafe铆na porque realmente me mantuvo activo durante el d铆a, y esto es algo que no me ha sucedido con otras marcas de caf茅, no s茅 si es porque yo estoy tan habituado al caf茅 que la cafe铆na no me afecta e incluso puedo tomarlo por las noches sin que afecte mi sue帽o, pero esta taza de caf茅 "La Protectora" realmente me dio energ铆as

Definitivamente yo tambi茅n lo recomiendo, ahora entiendo porque a mi amigo le gusta tanto. La pr贸xima vez que yo vaya a comprar caf茅 seguramente volver茅 a adquirir esta marca.
